Angkor Classique: Bringing Baroque to Cambodia’s Rooftops
Cambodia’s cultural scene continues to surprise, with a growing appreciation for not only traditional Khmer arts but also the sounds of Western classical music. At the heart of this quiet renaissance is Angkor Classique, the country’s only regularly performing classical ensemble.
Formed by Leo Salazar (US), Neil Sharpe (UK), and Miri Cho (South Korea), Angkor Classique brings the timeless beauty of composers like Haydn, Beethoven, and Mozart to audiences across Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Their performances combine technical mastery with a warmth and intimacy that make each concert feel personal, even to those new to classical music.

What began as the Pierrot Ensemble, a modern music project exploring the works of Arnold Schoenberg, evolved naturally into Angkor Classique. As the founding members experimented with instrumentation and style, their collective passion for the Baroque and early Romantic eras took center stage. Today, they present their interpretations with elegance and emotion, creating moments that feel both historic and immediate.
From cozy rooftop concerts under the Phnom Penh skyline to elegant performances in Siem Reap’s art venues, Angkor Classique’s shows are more than recitals—they’re experiences. Each event pairs fine music with fine food and wine, blending culture and cuisine in a way that reflects Cambodia’s evolving artistic spirit.
